However, the mass of the vehicle is absurdly limited, so Thomas Wade decides to find some person to euthanize, and to send only the deep frozen brain, on the assumption that the Trisolarans will be able to reconstruct the body using DNA and maybe old memories inside the brain as a reference. When Thomas Wade, the CIA agent leading the project, proposes the idea to make the Trisolarans intercept the probe by putting a human into it, who would serve as an object of investigation and therefore could corrupt warfare from the inside and would even be brought back into the Solar System, the plan is accepted. The Planetary Defence Council (PDC) first rejects the plan because of the sophons, the high relative velocity of the spy probe when reaching the Trisolaran fleet and the Trisolarans probably using too advanced technology for communication, the intelligence value would be practically nil. The seemingly impossible target speed is realized through Cheng's idea of lining up ICBMs, Topol and Dongfeng missiles to create a nuclear catapult. Now, the time is the beginning of The Dark Forest: Around the time that Luo Ji is appointed as a Wallfacer, an aeronautical engineer named Cheng Xin is recruited by the Planetary Intelligence Agency (PIA) to work for the Staircase Project, which aims to launch a spy probe toward the Trisolaran fleet at 1% of light-speed to gather intelligence. Yang Dong, who knows that alien life is extremely common from secret documents of her mother, wonders how it has affected the universe and whether nature is really 'natural'.

Prior to her death, she meets another person at the lab (later revealed to be Ding Yi) who insists that life and geography on Earth evolved together, as opposed to the latter merely having enabled the former. Next, the story shifts to the timeline of the beginning of The Three-Body Problem: The physicist Yang Dong, daughter of Ye Wenjie, having discovered her mother's conspiracy with Trisolaris, and witnessing the stultification of all particle accelerators, is eventually driven to suicide. Constantine XI tasks her with killing Mehmed II, but her powers are mysteriously lost, and she is killed by Byzantine soldiers in retaliation. The story begins during the Fall of Constantinople (AD 1453), recounting a prostitute who gains the power of retrieving objects and human organs without penetrating their enclosures.
